It's not as bad as it used to be where Jake Locker and Blaine Gabbert were drafted in the first round


What does that mean? They’re always going to be busts. Are you implying those days are over?

10-15 years ago a guy with mediocre college stats but who had the "size" and "arm strength" to be "coached up" stood a better chance of going #1 than guys like Kyler Murray who were actually good football players in college even though they don't fit the NFL type. Lamar Jackson probably wouldn't have gone as high back then either. The NFL wasn't very innovative for the longest time, they started running the wildcat like 5 years after it make a resurgence in college lol. But recently teams like the Chiefs, Bears and Ravens have finally started using the RPO and adapting to modern concepts. At least to me it seems like teams drafting a QB have relied more on results than potential lately.
